QC Beer Week 2019

Support your local brewing community! Great River Brewery and Front Street Brewing Co. have both been severely affected by the recent flooding. This year for QC Beer Week we will be focusing on flood relief for our fellow brewers.

The Quad Cities Area welcomes back QC Beer Week in May! This year the local celebration will be Monday, May 13ththrough Friday, May 17th. Due the recent flooding, this year QCBW is all about cities support cities, brewers supporting brewers. A portion of the sales of each evening will be donated to the flood relief effort.

The Quad Cities is now home to 12 breweries, with a few more in the works; because of this the week is highlighting a different city each day, encouraging the community to visit and support the breweries in each city, each night of the week. As both of our Davenport breweries will be inaccessible, Crawford Brew Works has kindly stepped in and offered to host the Davenport night at their spot.

Friday, May 17this the final celebration, the Quad Cities Tap Takeover to close out the week. All the brewers will gather together at Five Cities Brewing in Bettendorf, each represented by one tap handle.

QC Beer Week was started 8 years ago by the local home brewing club, MUGZ. It was created to highlight the great places in the Quad Cities that celebrated craft beer, with different tapping events at both bars and breweries. As the local brewing landscape changed, so has the event itself, the focus is now solely on all Quad Cities crafted brews.

QC Beer Week was revived to coincide with the launch of the QC Ale Trail, a new tourism promotion being rolled out by the Quad Cities Visitor’s Bureau. It will be announced in full detail on Friday, May 17th, at the Quad Cities Tap Takeover. Plan to attend the event and support a thriving, local industry and meet the people who are making it happen.
